Well, I’ll just say that writing this entry is part of my lunch break. There, said. Moving on… Things I Learned This WeekendTM:
1. Musical shows that are performed by high school dance departments rather than theater departments usually have pretty good dancing numbers; however, the singing and acting is often not too hot. Also, canned music with the actors singing over the Broadway cast album just plain sucks.
2. High school aged kids are worlds away from middle school aged kids. High schoolers are friendly, helpful, and respectful, especially when they are treated as adults. That’s all they want really—for the world to recognize that they are capable and to give them a little credit. There’s a lot we can learn from this—too much to go into at the moment.
3. Cast parties sure have changed since I had them in my parent’s house during high school. These days there seems to be much more “dancing.” I say “dancing” when what I mean is “pulsating grinding.”
4. There’s a reason playing video games is popular with some people. It is the same reason that said activities are decidedly unpopular with others. When you see the sun coming up in the glare on the television screen as you’re trying to destroy some monster, you know it’s time to go to sleep… that is, as soon as you’ve completed the level.
